An astonishing video recorded by Fox News shows what appears to be the footprints of illegal immigrants streaming down a mountainside into rural Southern California.
About an hour’s drive east of San Diego, dozens to perhaps more than 100 migrants were captured on both FOX News’ ground and drone cameras wandering boredly through a crevasse in the mountains of Jacumba, California. It was getting worse. The migrants appear to have climbed the mountain from the Mexican side to cross the border illegally.
A steady stream of illegal immigrants was then seen walking to the foothills along Interstate 8, where they were met by just two Border Patrol agents.
The three men who came down the mountain told Fox News they were from Kazakhstan. Fox News correspondent Bill Melzin said a large group of Chinese migrants were also at the scene, watching and filming on their iPhones the flow of other migrants coming down the mountainside.

Fox News observed a mix of adults and families with young children. An elderly woman was seen walking down the mountain with her baby in her arms.
The scene was unusual because immigrants often take the path of least resistance: through a hole in the border wall on the ground not far from where he was in California. Cameras along the interstate captured makeshift camps of migrants from around the world, including Africa, China and Turkey, as they watched others descend from the mountains. The two Border Patrol agents at the scene appeared to be outnumbered.
There were not many U.S. Border Patrol agents on the ground throughout the day to process the flow of migrants.

Greg Abbott, Texas has increased the presence of the National Guard, installed razor wire despite the Biden administration’s disapproval, and removed federal agents from the Eagle Pass park to prevent migrants from crossing the border illegally. Measures are being taken to prevent this. , known as a hotspot for illegal crossings. As Texas takes an unwelcoming stance toward immigrants, more illegal immigrants are moving west to the blue-state border of California and Arizona, where there is less resistance, sources tell Fox News. .

San Diego’s border area continues to be flooded with migrants from China and other countries around the world.
